Jeter's Next Big Swing

"I don't miss playings," says the retired Yankee, as the press-shy captain leads website The Players' Tribune, where DeAndre Jordan and Tiger Woods break news (sorry, ESPN) and backers are betting on a media home run

The Reading Promise is Ozma's story of the pact her single father, elementary school librarian Jim Brozina, made to read aloud with her for one hundred consecutive nights — which became 3,218 nights, or eight years, until Ozma left for college. Her memoir was published by Grand Central Publishing in 2011 and made the Los Angeles Times' hardcover nonfiction best seller list.

The project came to Walden by way of development and production vp Naia Cucukov, who was a student of Brozina's in their town of Millville, New Jersey. She will oversee the project on Walden's behalf. RobbieBrenner and Josh Reinhold will oversee on Relativity's.

Walden COO Frank Smith says, "At its core, The Reading Promise is a heartfelt, imaginative story that celebrates family and love of reading, and as such, celebrates the core tenants of a Walden Media film. Jim Brozina's dedication to his family and the promise they made are nothing short of inspirational."
